Exacct::Object::Group(3PERL)Perl Library FunctionsExacct::Object::Group(3PERL)NAMEExacct::Object::Group - exacct group manipulation
SYNOPSIS
use Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object;
my $ea_grp = Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Group->new(
& EXT_GROUP | &EXC_DEFAULT | &EXD_GROUP_PROC);
DESCRIPTION
This module is used for manipulating libexacct(3LIB) Group objects. A
libexacct Group object is represented as an opaque reference blessed
into the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Group class, which is a subclass
of the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object class. The Items within a Group are
stored inside a Perl array. A reference to the array can be accessed
with the inherited value() method. The individual Items within a Group
can be manipulated with the normal Perl array syntax and operators. All
data elements of the array must be derived from the
Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object class. Group objects can also be nested
inside each other simply by adding an existing Group as a data Item.
Constants
None.
Functions
None.
Class methods
Class methods include those inherited from the
Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object base class, plus the following:
new($catalog, @objects)
This method creates and returns a new
Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Group. The catalog tag can be either
an integer or a Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog. The catalog tag
should be a valid catalog tag for a Perl exacct Group object. The
@objects parameter is a list of Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object to be
stored inside the Group. A copy of all the passed Items is taken
and any Group objects are recursively copied. The contents of the
returned Group object can be accessed with the array returned by
the value method.
Object methods
as_hash()
This method returns the contents of the group as a hash reference.
It uses the string value of each item's catalog ID as the hash
entry key and the scalar value returned by value() as the hash
entry value. This form should be used if there are no duplicate
catalog tags in the group.
This method and its companion as_hashlist() are the fastest ways to
access the contents of a Group.
as_hashlist()
This method returns the contents of the group as a hash reference.
It uses the string value of each item's catalog id as the hash
entry key and an array of the scalar values returned by value() as
the hash entry value for all the items that share a common key.
This form should be used if there might be duplicate catalog tags
in the group.
This method and its companion as_hash() are the fastest ways to
access the contents of a Group.
Exports
None.
